Tracy writes that she has a hard time buying for her 80+ year old Grandfather. I say men in general can be hard to buy for. Ties, shirts, underwear - there has to be something better.
Here are some ideas that may help. This year - Think Handmade for the men on your list:

Primitive - Upcycled Vintage Copper Wire Cuff Unisex Bracelet This simple copper cuff is hand-forged from heavy vintage wire using simple tools - a hammer and fire - much as it would have been long ago in another age. by WabiBrookStudio
